Hymns of the Lutheran Church

496 Hark! ten thousand harps and voices

1 Hark! ten thousand harps and voices Sound the note of praise above! Jesus reigns, and heaven rejoices; Jesus reigns, the God of love. See, He sits on yonder throne; Jesus rules the world alone. 2 Jesus, hail! Whose glory brightens All above, and makes it fair: Lord of life, Thy smile enlightens, Cheers, and charms Thy people here. When we think of love like Thine, Lord, we own it love divine. 3 King of glory, reign for ever; Thine an everlasting crown: Nothing from Thy love shall sever Those whom Thou hast made Thine own; Happy objects of Thy grace, Destined to behold Thy face. 4 Savior, hasten Thine appearing; Bring, O bring the glorious day, When the awful summons hearing, Heaven and earth shall pass away. Then, with golden harps, we'll sing, "Glory, glory, to our King."
